Not Just The Nanny Anymore

Rate this book
She was hired to help.
She forgot what happens when you save a man like me.


My wife is dead.
My daughter is barely six months old.
And the woman walking through my front door just brought the one thing I can’t softness.

Naomi hums lullabies like prayers.
She folds my daughter into her arms like she was born to carry us both.
And she looks at me like I’m not drowning. Like I’m not broken.

But this house isn’t safe.
Not with secrets in the nursery.
Not with whispers in the walls.
Not with my late wife’s sister watching us like she’s still owed something.

Naomi doesn’t know it yet.
But she’s not just the nanny anymore.
She’s mine.
And if anyone touches her — God help them.

I buried one woman already. I won’t bury another.

Read on for protective widowers, dangerous sister-in-laws, obsession that blooms in grief, and a man who learns to breathe again—because she taught him how. HEA Guaranteed!

3 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

I gave this story 3 stars because, though I liked the overall plot and the editing was decent, I did not enjoy the passivity of the leading man and lady in how they handled the challenges faced. Additionally, the author’s writing style of changing settings between one paragraph to the next with no lead-in was a bit tough to follow.

For example, in one sentence Graham is sitting at breakfast with his daughter and, in the very next sentence he is in the cemetery kneeling at his late wife’s grave … while Naomi and the baby await him at the entrance. He stands to go to them and … the scene immediately transitions to Graham alone in the car driving home.

This type of transitioning from one setting to another, with no clear ending/close of the previous scene is prevalent throughout the story, leaving me (as the reader/audience) feeling as if I’d missed something, or some content was left out.

Though this writing style didn’t appeal to me, it may to some. As stated earlier, I liked the plot (3 stars) but it’s not a book I would read again or purchase for my Kindle library.

A beautiful and emotional story about a father left alone with a newborn daughter when his wife dies. He finds a nanny in Naomi, who is everything his daughter needs and all he can't provide. It doesn't take long for everything to change, and so does his attitude toward Naomi and his daughter. It becomes clear to him that she's no longer his nanny, but rather his, even though she doesn't know it yet. A wonderful story.

Almost Too Little Too Late

Samantha was given way too much leeway, Gabriel appeared as a spineless man whose mother had the real backbone. Naomi was too timid and did not speak up for herself, afraid of Samantha...
Wished that Gabriel would stand up strong to Samantha.
Her confession was another lost opportunity for both Gabriel, his mother and Naomi to shut her down, and again Samantha is allowed to do her her thing.

What The Actual…

Very disappointing. I stopped about halfway through; I simply couldn’t take anymore! If the stalker isn’t Samantha, why aren’t they calling the police? If the stalker IS Samantha, why don’t they just put her out??? She’s creepy AF and a danger to the baby!!!! I tried to power on, but I don’t care about these characters.

Potential

The book has Potential but I kept feeling like I was missing something since the book would seemingly jump from scene to scene. I wasn’t sure of this was a mystery or a love story I do not recommend.

AWESOME NANNY

Sweet and suspenseful reading. The villainess really was a witch. Added some spice to this book. The baby was soooo cute. This is one to pick up.
